Dex withdrew his fingers and sucked them, closing his eyes with a moan. “That was gorgeous, darlin’. I can’t wait to see it again.”
“Oh my goodness. What was that?” Hannah asked in a desperate, breathy voice.
Slade turned his face in to breathe her scent, his lips scraping across her cheek and chuckled.
She could be so adorable.
“That was a killer orgasm,” Dex said with a grin as he stood, his hand on the button of his pants. “It’s going to be even better when it’s my cock inside you. Come on, baby. I want you to ride me.”
Abruptly, Hannah sat up, pulled her skirt down, then glanced at him. Brows knit, green eyes uncertain, she looked away. Slade reeled back at the confusion on her sweet face and forced himself to sit up.
He turned her in his arms. “You’ve never had an orgasm before, baby?” Hannah stared, blinked at him. “No.”
The entire room froze.
“Darlin’, what were those men thinking?” Dex scowled.
“What men?” Hannah asked, her eyes innocent.
The clues slid into place for Slade. “You’re a virgin?”
With a pretty flush, Hannah scrambled off his lap, smoothing her skirt. “Yes.” He and Dex exchanged a quick glance. This changed everything. They’d been ready to introduce her to the pleasures of ménage at thirty-thousand feet, but if this was her first time, she deserved a real bed and an enormous amount of patience from them.
“Oh, I get it,” she murmured. “You don’t like virgins. Because I don’t know what I’m doing, right?” Hannah backed away. “I don’t know what came over me earlier. Let’s just forget it happened.”
Slade got to his feet. His cock was a hammer in his slacks, but it would wait for Hannah.
He took her hand and drew her closer. “Look at me, love.”
She hesitated, then finally met his gaze. He could see the courage it cost her.
“No, we won’t forget that it happened. And it’s going to happen again. We are so honored that you trusted us with the truth. We hope you’ll do the same with your body.” Slade raised her hand to his mouth, palm up, and kissed her. “We’ll take such good care of you.” Dex was right there, taking her other hand. “I promise. We’re going to cherish you.” Tears filled her eyes, along with a spark of what Slade could only describe as hope. “You’re not disappointed?”
“We’re thrilled,” Slade said. “Now, sit down, and I’ll fix you a drink. You should rest.” He poured her a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. When he turned, she was sitting in her chair next to Dex. They had left a seat open beside her. That was his place, beside her. He passed her the glass and sat. Dex began to talk about her cat and how he’d rescued the fur ball. By the time he was finished with the story, Hannah was smiling into Dex’s face. When Slade found her hand with his, she squeezed back.
Slade couldn’t help the smile creasing his face. The moment was perfect with the singular exception of Gavin on the other side of the aisle. Alone. His gray eyes were stark, miserable.
Slade didn’t know what to say, but he figured he’d better come up with something fast.
Before he opened his mouth, Gavin shook his head and stared out the window.
For the first time it really sank in that Slade could gain a wife and lose his brother.
Chapter Five
The limo slid away from the tiny airstrip, its engine purring almost silently.
Gavin was well aware that it was utterly incongruous to have a limo in a backwoods town like River Run, Alaska, but his father had kept one for his infrequent trips, and it had seemed cruel to Gavin to fire the driver. The man had been with his family for almost fifty years, so when Gavin or any of the executives came to River Run, they were greeted by the elderly driver and late-model limo.
The vehicle seated six, not that they needed that much space. His brothers had practically sprawled Hannah across their laps. She didn’t take up much room anyway. Nor, apparently could she walk. When the plane had touched down, she’d tried to stand, but Dex had been there, sweeping her into his arms. He’d passed her off to Slade when they reached the limo. Now she sat curled up like a sweetly rumpled, sexy kitten between them. The minute Dex had curled his arm around her she’d let her head find his chest and fallen asleep. Dex had closed his eyes, too.
Lucky bastard. Gavin doubted he would be able to sleep even in his comfortable bed. His cock was still hard hours after watching Hannah spread her legs and come for the first time.
Gavin knew he’d never touch her…but in that moment, he’d felt so involved, sharing that brand new experience with her and his brothers. Fuck if he didn’t want more.
